The Herald
|July 17, 2025
THE Queen received a birthday gift that helped keep a nuclear-powered submarine at sea when all else failed, clingfilm.
Camilla's 78th birthday, celebrated on Thursday, was marked with the presentation of a clingfilm holder from Commander Chris Bate whose crew used the household item to fix a defect in the main engines of his submarine HMS Astute.
"There's nothing more useful, brilliant how wonderful," said the royal guest about the present which had a small plaque with the words "Clingflim keeping nuclear submarines at sea".
